The Big Book of Thugs

From 1996, DC Comics published this single-issue volume in their "Big Book" series, a nonfiction graphic anthology exploring the history of organized crime. Written by Joel Rose and illustrated by Tayyar Ozkan, it profiles notorious gangsters, mob enforcers, and street thugs through a blend of factual narrative and stylized comic art. Part of a line that turned true crime into accessible, visually engaging reference works, this entry stands as a compact but vivid portrait of criminal underworld figures.
